Some are bigger than others. The Earth's Moon is the largest compared to its mother planet, but the dwarf planet Pluto has the moon Charon which is apparently about half its size.
The Earth's Moon is about one eightieth (1/81) the mass of the Earth, with a diameter of 3476 kilometers (2160 miles). The irregular Martian moon Deimos is only 10 km in diameter at its narrowest The smallest moons of Jupiter and Saturn are even smaller, down to about 0.3 km, where the line between moonand moonlet becomes vague.
